Planning Process

Planning
One of the major causes of project failures is poor planning. Actually,
I am being kind. Most of the time the problem is caused by
there being no planning! The team simply tries to “wing it,” to do
the work without doing any planning at all. As I have explained
earlier in this chapter, many of us are task oriented, and we see
planning as a waste of time, so we would rather just get on with
the work. As we will see when we turn to controlling the project,
failing to develop a plan means that there can be no actual control
of the project. We are just kidding ourselves.
